Abstract: In the last decades, universities are undergoing new roles and
tendencies which have important implications in their structure and
procedures. Governments and institutions involved in higher education are
implementing strategies to improve universities' efficiency and to ensure
the proper universities' performance. In this sense, there are some
studies that address the assessment of universities through the
development and use of indicators' systems. In this paper, we present a
bibliographic review of those indicators' systems used for the assessment
of universities in the OECD countries, paying special attention to those
applied in Spain. The study shows the complexity that means the analysis
and the structure of the indicators proposed by the literature, mainly due
to the use of indicators is not only a technical or neutral activity, but
it implies to make valued judgments and answer predetermined objectives.
Therefore, until now, there is not a consensus among all the organizations
involved in the approach.
